Be Prepared for Natural Disasters

For every book that is downloaded between today and June 30th, Clorox will donate $1 (up to $10,000)to the American Red Cross. What could be better? Preparing your family for tornado, hurricane and other natural disasters and helping out the American Red Cross.

This is great, Deanna, thanks! I never used to worry a lot about our hurricane preparedness; Rich lived through Hurricane Camille in 1969 in Biloxi so he knew what to do. Whole different ballgame now, though, so I appreciate this a lot!
